Pagan Interest Circle
PICT
PICT conducts monthly rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, starting at 7:00 p.m. Our mission is to create a place for Unitarian Universalist Pagans to practice our spirituality in community, as well as for those who are interested in Paganism and Unitarian Universalism to learn and worship with us. If you'd like to participate, please email us here.
WHO WE ARE
For over 20 years the Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) of the First Unitarian  Universalist Church Society of San Francisco, a Chapter organization of  CUUPS, has been meeting for monthly Full Moon Rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, and for the solar pagan holidays of Winter Solstice and  Beltane. We are an open circle dedicated to providing ritual space for all respectful families and individuals of any age. Our policy requires that our rituals are clean and sober, drugs, alcohol, fragrance and animal free. Individuals who rely on an animal companion are welcome but will need to secure their animal away from the the ritual room/space.
Upcoming
The Pagan Interest Circle
​
The Pagan Interest Circle Invites You to Dance Around the Maypole Sunday Afternoon, May 4th in the Courtyard @ 12:15 pm.
​
We Are Days Away from the Merry Month of May!
​
Make a Wreath! Jump the Cauldron! Dance around the Maypole!
​
May 1st is the cross-quarter holiday, Beltane, on the Wheel of the Year, the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. Beltane fires are lit to recall the growing power of the sun and provide an opportunity to cleanse and renew the connections within a community.
​
We meet in the courtyard after church service at 12:15 P.M. to make our flower-wreath May Crowns before our Beltane Celebration. Instead of a bonfire, we’ll light our cauldron. Wiccans dance around the Maypole to celebrate the wedding of the Goddess and God. We dance to celebrate all of life and love.
​
Bring a bag lunch or some snacks. Bring flowers for your May Crowns!
​
We hope to begin the Maypole Dance as close to 12:30 P.M. as possible.
​
For more information, contact Christine Patch-Lindsay, email: cplhealer@comcast.net.
​
AND...we'll celebrate the monthly Full Moon ritual Saturday, May 10th, at 6:45 PM. Keep a lookout for more information!
